Product description
The Offline monitor IR420-D6 monitors the insulation resistance of deenergized loads.
These loads, e.g. fire pumps, slidevalves drives, elevator motors or emergency genera-
tors, either temporarily deenergized or deenergized for the most time, are supplied from
TN, TT or IT systems. During the shutdown periods, however, humidity or other effects
may cause insulation faults in the wiring or loads which may go undetected. Switching the
device on may then lead to the tripping of the protective device or may even result in
motor fires so that operation of the device is no longer possible. In combination with a
coupling device, the A-ISOMETERs can also be used for higher voltages.
Application
Disconnected loads such as fire extinguisher pumps, emergency drives, ship cranes, slide-
valve drives in supply lines (gas, water, oil), motor-driven closing systems, diving pumps,
drives for anchors, elevators, flue gas valves and stand-by generators.
Function
If the insulation resistance between the system conductors and earth falls below the set
response value, the alarm relays switch and the alarm LEDs light up. The measured value
is indicated on the internal display. The fault message can be stored. The fault memory
can be reset by pressing the RESET button. By pressing the TEST button, the function of
the device can be tested. Two separately adjustable response values and two separate
alarm relays allow prewarning already in case of very high-resistance insulation faults.
When the lower response level is reached an interlocking function will be activated and
the connection of a defective load can be prevented.
The insulation resistance is measured via the output L1 or via a contact to the system
being monitored. The contact is controlled via the external contact element K3. With the
contact in closed position, the system is deenergized and the insulation resistance is being
measured. If the system or load is in operation, K3 opens the contact and insulation
monitoring is deactivated. Note that the main switch disconnects all poles. Ensure a low-
resistance connection between all line conductors (e. g. by motor windings) so that the
measuring voltage can be superimposed onto the system.
Note: If the IR420-D6 is operated via a coupling device, the auxiliary contact (NC contact)
of K3 between the A-ISOMETER and the coupling device need not to be designed for the
nominal voltage of the system. A rated contact voltage of AC 230 V will be sufficient.
Measuring principle
Superimposed DC measuring voltage with reversing stage (see chapter annex
measurement technology).

from an IT system (A1/ A2) both lines have to be protected by
a fuse.
